A Model-driven Approach for Software Product Lines Requirements Engineering

Abstract

UML and feature models complement each other well and can be the base techniques for a systematic method to identify and model software product line (SPL) requirements. In this paper, we present a model-driven approach to trace both features and UML requirements analysis model elements, and to automatically derive valuable models for domain and application engineering. The resulting contribution is a synergetic approach for SPL requirements. We illustrate it by using a home automation system product line.
